Gamescom Round Up - Day 1 Highlights

Sony’s the only one of the platform holders exhibiting at Gamescom this year, and its emphasis was on PS Vita.

Sony announced several new games for Vita, including Killzone Mercenary – another attempt at doing an FPS on handheld – and Media Molecule’s first game since LittleBigPlanet, called Tearaway. Tearaway looks like a slick 3D platformer set in a world of paper, so there’s lots of opportunity for touch-based play… folding, cutting, drawing and so on.

Sony’s press conference was also host to the first Black Ops: Declassified footage, which, if we’re being kind, looks like very early code. Probably too early to show to the public, but hey, what do we know?

Black Ops 2’s multiplayer game was revealed on Monday night, along with its new Create-A-Class system. Click on the above image for more details.

Capcom revealed that it was the publisher of the previous-titled (and previously linked as a PS3-exclusive) Adrift with the gameplay reveal of the curiously-named Remember Me. It’s basically Assassin’s Creed set in the future. Which might be pretty good.
